An entrepreneur which has a burning desire to do something, confidence to accomplish his mission, risk taking capabilities and these are individual's own traits which are difficult to instill in a student during these two years. So for an entrepreneur these things are basic and can be harnessed to a certain level.

So an individual with traits mentioned above can become really a good entrepreneur.

This is one of the hot discussion topic among an MBA and non-MBA.An MBA provides a fair amount of knowledge about historical business case studies, finance, and other topics — all of which can be useful. But It is in no way a substitute for real management experience and that's where it can be harmful — when the holder of the MBA thinks they know how to manage, because they have an MBA.

To be better, they no need to have real management experience and real management experience can be acquired without MBA also.
